<p>Penerapan teknologi ramah lingkungan budi daya tanaman pada suatu lahan akan dapat mempertahankan kelestarian lingkungan. Penciptaan teknologi budi daya tanaman tembakau, serat, dan minyak industri di-arahkan pada teknologi yang dapat meningkatkan produktivitas dan mutu hasil, efisiensi biaya usaha tani, dan ramah lingkungan. Teknologi ramah lingkungan difokuskan pada penemuan komponen teknologi prapa-nen yang mempunyai dampak minimal terhadap pencemaran atau perusakan lingkungan, yang meliputi va-rietas-varietas unggul, teknik pengendalian hama dan penyakit, teknik konservasi lahan tembakau. Varietas-varietas unggul tersebut adalah varietas-varietas yang mempunyai ketahanan terhadap hama dan penyakit, yaitu tembakau Prancak 95, Prancak N1, Prancak N2, Kemloko 2, dan Grompol Jatim 1; kapas: Kanesia 11–Kanesia 13; kenaf: Karangploso 14–Karangploso 15; wijen: Sumberrejo 4; dan jarak kepyar: Asembagus 81. Teknik pengendalian hama dan penyakit yang ramah lingkungan adalah teknologi pengendalian hama yang membatasi atau meniadakan penggunaan insektisida kimia sintetik dan menerapkan teknik pengendalian de-ngan memanfaatkan peran musuh alami serangga hama atau antagonis patogen penyebab penyakit, dan penggunaan pestisida nabati. Teknik konservasi lahan untuk mengendalikan erosi dan penyakit lincat dikem-bangkan pada lahan tembakau temanggung dengan menerapkan penggunaan varietas tahan penyakit, pem-buatan terassering dan penguatnya, pengolahan lahan minimal, dan aplikasi mikroba antagonis. Teknologi ramah lingkungan tersebut telah diterapkan di tingkat petani dan memberikan dampak yang positif terhadap pengembangan komoditas.</p><p>Technology innovations for tobacco, fibers, and industrial-oil crops are directed to increase production and quality of the products, efficiency, and environmentally-friendly technologies. The efficiency and environ-menttally-friendly technologies are focused on the pre-harvest technology innovations that have minimal im-pacts on environmental damages. The technologies include superior varieties, pest control, and land conser-vation. The superior varieties are those that resistant to either insect pests or diseases, i.e. tobacco: Prancak 95, Prancak N1, Prancak N2, Kemloko 2, and Grompol Jatim 1; cotton: Kanesia 11–Kanesia 13; kenaf: Ka-rangploso 14–Karangploso 15; sesame: Sumberrejo 4; and  castor: Asembagus 81.  Environmentally-friendly pest control is to limit or no use synthetic-chemical pesticides in pest control, but optimally make use the role of natural enemies and antagonists and use biopesticides. Land conservation technique to control erosi-on as well as ”lincat’ disease has been developed in fields of temanggung tobacco by using tobacco variety resistant to the disease, terracering, minimum tillage, and application of antagonist microbes. Those techno-logies has been implemented in the farmers’ fields and has a positive impacts for the commodity develop-ment.</p><p> </p>

This article explores the influence of textual structures on the acquisition of knowledge in popularization discourses related to biopesticides. Following a terminological insight into the linguistic and cognitive complexities of the notion, we proceed to a semantic analysis of press articles in major Anglo-Saxon newspapers, focusing on the explanation strategies used by the media to simplify their presentation. We show that in the mediation process, biopesticides (and co-referent terms) are systematically described as being environmentally friendly, and opposed to chemical pesticides, consistently shown to be detrimental to the environment. We hypothesize that this simplistic binary framing is exploited by journalists as it is easy to understand in a context of agroecological transition and commonly shared distrust for chemical pesticides. In that respect, it proves to be adequate for purposes of explanation and simplification. However, by outlining this discursive process based on duality, we aim to draw attention to the potential misconceptions of plant protection issues in general, and biopesticides in particular. We ultimately demonstrate that when adopting other perspectives (scientific, ontological or ethical), this dual framing proves to be inadequate for the construction of knowledge by any non-expert press reader.

AbstrakTanaman cabai merupakan tanaman yang banyak dijumpai di Indonesia. Petani melakukan budidaya tanaman cabai karena minat dari masyarakat akan cabai sangat tinggi. Namun petani selalu dihadapkan dengan permasalahan hama yang sering menyerang tanaman cabainya. Kebanyakan petani menggunakan pestisida kimia untuk memberantas hama pada tanamannya. Memang cepat dalam memberantas hamanya, namun kurang baik dalam segi lingkungan dan kesehatan manusia. Untuk itu, penulis akan memberikan alternatif untuk memberantas hama yang ada ditanaman tanpa adanya efek samping baik tanaman itu sendiri maupun ekosistem disekitarnya. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini yaitu observasi dan wawancara. Pembuatan pestisida alami ini menjadi salah satu alternatif karena ramah lingkungan dan aman untuk kesehatan manusia. Pestisida alami ini terbuat dari kotoran kambing, dan rempah-rempah yang sering digunakan ibu dalam memasak. Pestisida ini disosialisasikan kepada masyarakat khususnya yang bergerak di bidang pertanian. Untuk mengetahui efektif tidaknya penggunaan pestisida alami dalam memberantas hama dilakukan dengan pengamatan setelah penyemprotan pestisida alami secara rutin untuk tanaman cabai yang terserang hama.  Sehingga dari pengamatan ini didapati penggunaan pestisida dari kegiatan pembuatan pestisida alami, penyemprotan pestisidanya ke tanaman yang terdapat hama, penyemprotan dilakukan sehingga didapati dari hasil pengamatannya pestisida ini cukup efektif dalam memberantas hama yang terdapat di tanaman cabai. Dari hasil pengamatan didapati penyemprotan pestisida alami secara rutin dapat meminimalisir penyebaran hama  ditanaman. Kata Kunci: Pestisida Alami, Hama, Tanaman Cabai. AbstractChili plants are plants that are often found in Indonesia. Farmers cultivate chili plants because the public’s interest in chili is very high. However, farmers are always faced with the problem of pests that often attack their chili plants. Most farmers use chemical pesticides to eradicate pests on their crops. It is fast in eradicating the pests, but it is not good in terms of the environment and human health. For this reason, the author will provide an alternative to eradicate pests that exist in plants without any side effects, both the plant itself and the surrounding ecosystem. The method used in this community service activity is observation and interviews. Making natural pesticides is an alternative because it is environmentally friendly and safe for human health. This natural pesticide is made from goat dung, and spices that mothers often use in cooking. These pesticides are socialized to the public, especially those engaged in agriculture. To find out whether the use of natural pesticides is effective in eradicating pests is carried out by observing after spraying natural pesticides on a regular basis for chili plants that are attacked by pests. So from this observation it was found that the use of pesticides from the activities of making natural pesticides, spraying was carried out so that it was found from the observations that these pesticides were quite effective in eradicating pests found in chili plants. From the observations, it was found that regular natural pesticide spraying can minimize the spread of pests on plants.Key Word: Natural pesticides, pests, chili plants.

Mosquitoes are vectors of many pathogens which causes serious human diseases like Malaria, Filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Yellow fever and Zika virus which constitute a major public health problem globally. Mosquito borne diseases cause high level of economic impact all over the world and result in millions of death every year. They infect around 700,000,000 people annually worldwide and 40,000,000 only in India. The continuous use of synthetic pesticides to control vector mosquitoes has caused physiological resistance, toxic effect on human health, environmental pollution and addition to these, its adverse effects can be observed on non-target organisms. Synthetic chemical pesticides have been proved to be effective, but overall in last 5 decades indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides against vector borne disease control have originated several ecological issues due to their residual accumulation and development of resistance in target vectors and their chronic effects.

The enzyme-containing magnetic composites are presented. The magnetic matrix for enzyme immobilization is obtained by sequential application of an amine-containing polysaccharide—chitosan and a synthetic polymer—poly(ethylene-alt-maleic acid) to the magnetite microparticles to form the interpolyelectrolyte complex shell. Then, the enzyme (trypsin) is immobilized by covalent or noncovalent binding. Thus, the suggested composites can be readily obtained in the environmentally friendly manner. The enzyme capacity of the resulting composites reaches 28.0–32.6 mg/g. The maximum hydrolysis rates of the H-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA substrate provided by these composites range within 0.60·10–7–0.77·10–7 M/min.

Health of dairy cows ensures human health, so it is important that dairy products do not contain antibiotics that are used to treat any inflammation, including mastitis. In Russia at present, the problem of mastitis in cows exists with both attached and loose housing of cows. Mastitis of dairy cows are the great problem in milking husbandry. Losses from mastitis in milk yield can reach 15-20%. The main reasons for the occurrence of nonspecific mastitis of cows are the shortcomings of the working components of the milking machine: the degree of deterioration of the nipple rubber and the violation of machine milking technology (the reduction in pre-milking time and vacuum fluctuations account for 70% of all causes). Treatment of mastitis with antibiotics is effective, but not environmentally friendly and unacceptable. For the treatment of inflammation of the udder, it is necessary to use more environmentally friendly methods of treatment, one of which is the exposure to ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field tested by medicine. Use of three types of medical-mobile milking machines with the same method of exposure to ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic fields on cow's nipples through electrodes in milking cups: LPDA-1-UHF, LPDA-2-UHF and LPDA-UHF-30 M, is described in the article. Author proved that cows with subclinical forms of mastitis recovered faster during milking with exposure to the ultrahigh frequency than when treated by antibiotics, and milking with the ultrahigh frequency device helps to recover 82% of the affected quarters with clinical forms and 100% of cows with subclinical forms of mastitis or with udder irritation. The high efficiency of the method of exposure to electromagnetic fields of the ultrahigh frequency during machine milking by means of medical-mobile milking machines LPDA-UHF for the prevention and treatment of mastitis of cows was shown.
